<div class="lyrics">
<p>The kings of the east are riding<br>
Tonight to Bethlehem;<br>
The sunset glows dividing,<br>
The kings of the east are riding,<br>
A star their journey guiding,<br>
Gleaming with gold and gem.<br>
The kings of the east are riding<br>
Tonight to Bethlehem.</p>
<p>To a strange sweet song of Zion<br>
The starry host troops forth:<br>
The golden glaived Orion<br>
To a strange sweet song of Zion,<br>
The Archer and the Lion,<br>
The watchers of the north:<br>
To a strange sweet song of Zion<br>
The starry host troops forth.</p>
<p>There beams above a manger<br>
The child face of a star;<br>
Amid the stars a stranger,<br>
It beams above a manger,<br>
What means this ether ranger<br>
To pause where poor folk are?<br>
There beams above a manger<br>
The child face of a star.</p>
